Fr. Vincent Barboza is actively involved in conducting courses in Catholic Apologetics in the Archdiocese of Bombay. He and his team of Bishops, Priests, and laypeople have trained priests, sisters and laypeople in Apologetics. 

 

He was trained under Bp. Emeritus Agnelo Gracias and Late Fr. Leslie Ratus, Professors of St. Pius X Seminary, Mumbai. Since 2014 he and his team of Bishops, priests and laypeople have conducted a residential training programme every year and trained Catholics from Mumbai, parts of India and abroad. This course in Apologetics has deepened and enriched their personal faith in Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church as the depository of God’s Truth. 

 

He is proud to inform you that 2 participants have joined the seminary to become a priest. It is not only men participants who were inspired to choose a vocation to the priesthood but also women. One of the women participants who studied Phd. in Screen Engineering, was inspired to become a religious sister. What surprised us was that she chose to join a Cloistered Nun. Among men participants, one has already become a priest for the diocese of Belgaum and another participant was ordained a Priest for the diocese of Pune.  Who says young people don't respond to God’s call in this materialistic world? Miracles do happen.
